It wasn't until my husband passed away in a car accident that I learned that the person I'd been married to for five years was actually gay, and that my son was the child of my childhood sweetheart.
"Your husband is gay, did you know?"
"I don't know"
"Your son is mine, do you know that?"
"I don't know"
The man was angry, but said gently: "You have suffered, I will protect you from now on."
